2011-12-17 Thread David H. Bailey
I just wanted to let the iPad users on this list know that Notion Software has just released a brand new music notation product for the iPad, Notion, which is a very robust product. It's got many of the capabilities of their larger product for computers which has been on the market for many year

This is a must buy for iPad owners. The sounds are very nice, a little better than the non-garritan sounds finale comes with (smartmusic synth stuff). Yeah, makemusic needs to get into the game. Do they have anything useful for ios out? They could easily do a smartmusic app for iOs...or at least l

Slightly OT: I don't own an iPad -- YET. I plan on getting the newest version when it comes out (some sources say February). Can I download this app now for $.99 and just hold onto it until I get an iPad? I already have an iPhone, so I'm all set up with an Apple Store ID. Thanks. On Sat, Dec 17, 2

You are going to trust a rumor? Stupid. The rumors concerning apple are 9 times out of 10 wrong and that is being generous. I don't see why you couldn't buy it in your Mac/pc and then when you get an iPad you'll have it. It's not an iPhone/I touch program as I don't see it on my iPhone (when I buy

I've only played with Notion for iPad a little so far (darned holiday stuff is getting in the way!) but note entry is simple, it has articulations, dynamics, effects particular to whatever instrument the staff is set to, tuplets (user defined), it's an incredible app and for the intro price of

I believe you can purchase the apps and they'll just sit there in your account until you download them until your iPad when you buy it. And they should install in iTunes on your computer to transfer to the device when you buy it. What I don't know (and probably you'll have to contact Apple to

David -- I've played with it a bit so far too, and it's very impressive. However, is it only instrumental tracks/staves? When I was checking out starting a new document, I didn't see any category that wasn't instruments. Anyone else who's been playing with the app, I'd love to hear if I've ju

Please can somebody tell me how to get rid of the crazy percussion font that is being forced upon me when I choose the percussion instruments in Score Manager. I can find nothing in the manual which refers to this (apologies if I've missed it). I'm on Winfin2012 Thanks, Lawrence -- Lawrenceya
